While birthdays are usually about cutting cakes with friends and family, Mr Musk decided to go for an “impromptu training session” with Lex Fridman, who is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt. 

Mr Fridaman, who wanted to train with Elon Musk, said that he was with the SpaceX CEO's “strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground.” 

“I did an impromptu training session with Elon Musk for a few hours yesterday. I'm extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic," Mr Fridman tweeted.
